Daniel 8:12

Amplified Bible - Classic Edition

And the host [the chosen people] was given [to the wicked horn] together with the continual burnt offering because of the transgression [of God's people–their abounding irreverence, ungodliness, and lack of piety]. And righteousness and truth were cast down to the ground, and it [the wicked horn] accomplished this [by divine permission] and prospered.
